PROSECUTION OF CHINÈSE

PAPER.

MADDENING WITNESS.

Before Lt. Col. F. Eaves, D.S.O., acting First Magistrate, the case against the Sun Fo was continued yesterday.

At the instance of Mr. M. K. Lo, Bolleitor for the defence, Lau Sheuk-chong, the Chinese official

Mr. Lo (to witness); I want you to be quite clear again, be cause there are suggestions of for gery and perjury Dying all over the place.

He invited forgery or perjury, Mr. Fitzroy to get a man from any firm of printers to say whether it was possible for a Chinese news- paper to do what it was alleged they had done. He would not say that such a performance was im- possible, but that it would require knowledge and skill beyond the limits of a Chinese newspaper office like the Sun Po.

I asked whether the Edi- tors of the different papers were only told not to write anything vio, lant about Japan, and whether there was no special mention of

boycott.

Witness replied that he remem. bered using the word "boycott."

Witness, in answer to further questions, said that the meeting with the various Editors took place either on May 6, 7 or 8.

Mr. Lo contended that it took place on May 11.

His Worship: In an important matter like this, you mean to say you don't keep a note?

Witness: No.

Have you no letter in the office showing when you asked these Editors to call? No. We sent a man,round to them.

Mr. Lo then produced to the witness and later to the Court another eight pages of matter from Canton, dated May 18, thich had been initialled after every para- graph. He pointed out again that there were exceptions to the wit Canton matters nese rulings.

Addressing witness, Mr. Lo said that witness knew perfectly, well that there had been no consistent practico as regards initialling every article and that there were omissions sometimes. "I put it to you that that is the truth," said Mr. Lo.

Witness: That seldom occurs.

Mr. Lo: But does it occur? Owing to pressure of work, I am not in a position to say that it has never occurred..

Witness was then handed a copy
